About Jared

I have over four years of experience tutoring with hundreds of hours of tutoring time. I have an excellent background in tutoring and the courses I cover, much of which I got when I studied Civil Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Worcester, MA)

Although it is a small college of 1600 undergraduates it has a sterling reputation for math, science and engineering. Math and science courses at WPI built upon a strong foundation which started at Oakland Technical High School's Engineering Academy (Math, Descriptive Geometry, Physics, CAD) and Paideia Program (English, History, Government). Although I know that my skills have expanded since high-school, I note my experience there as over 3/4 of my tutees are of the highschool level with the rest usually being college or occasionally being at the middle-school level.

I have been taught and consider it true, that if I can't explain a subject then I don't truly understand it. This fact has led me to work with and help other students throughout my education and to this day. I also believe that visualizing a problem makes it easier to solve and gives a greater understanding of the subject whether it is a single line, a geometric problem or even advanced physics or engineering situations. I make an effort to provide multiple ways to understand a problem and to determine what is the best way for each student to learn.

I have a great deal of experience tutoring at many different levels. Starting when I was just tutoring for fun in high-school and college and I would tutor my friends in whatever classes we were taking or that I had taken. For the last four years I have privately tutored dozens of students for a total of over four hundred hours, including over a hundred on this site alone. In addition I also worked at a after-school tutoring company during a school year and then taught a summer course in geometry to the students there.

I am a knowledgeable and patient tutor who has helped numerous students past what they were stuck on and created a solid foundation for them to continue with. I believe I have helped my tutees in their studies which is attested to by my ratings and reviews.-----------"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler" -Einstein

"Knowledgeable and insightful"

- Henry, West Covina, CA on 9/24/12

Was very familiar with the topic (Calculus) and able to convey ideas and concepts with ease.Jared also connected the specific concept of the chapter with those of future chapters, placing the entire lesson within the context of calculus as a whole. In addition, he was also patient and willing to wait for his student to try to figure out the problem on his own, before he jumped in to help. An overall effective and amiable tutor.

"Knowledgeable, able to relate with teenagers"

- Pierre, Andover, MA on 10/12/16

Jared has been working with my son for about one month now. Since then, I have seen son's performance in AP Calculus AB steadily improve. He is more enthusiastic about math and finishes his homework a lot quicker than he used to prior to these tutoring sessions. Jared is more than qualified on the technical subject matter, but most importantly, he has been able to relate very quickly with my teenage son in a manner that prior instructors have had difficulties with. Based on the one month experience I have had with Jared, I would highly recommend him for High school math tutoring

"Excellent tutor!"

- Zoe, Salem, NH on 10/10/16

Jared has been working with my son for about a month to help with Geometry and Biology. He's done a great job developing rapport, building confidence and helping my son understand concepts and excel in his classes. Top notch tutor!

"Knowledgeable and patient tutor"

- Rose, Exeter, NH on 7/23/16

Jared worked with my daughter on her Algebra answering all her questions and making sure she understood how to solve each problem.

"Highly recommend"

- John, West Newbury, MA on 5/2/16

My 17 year old son had a 2 hour session with Jared to prep for the AP Calc test. It was great. Thank you Jared. Highly recommend.

"Grades are improving!"

- Jeff, North Andover, MA on 4/2/16

Great job working with our daughter to help her with math. Her grades are improving and she has much more confidence.

"Easy going and knowledgable."

- Mary, North Andover, MA on 10/29/15

Jared reviewed some material to make sure my son had the basics down before moving forward. He was very patient.

"Very experienced, enthusiastic and effective."

- Blair, Boston, MA on 6/18/15

Jared taught (my daughter) math concerning circle problems, including angles, arcs, sectors, tangents etc. He taught her quicker ways to solve problems, as well as some things she didn't even know she needed. His experience allowed him to quickly recognize the needs of my daughter and address them. He prepared my daughter for her upcoming 10th grade final math exam at a very competitive school. We are extremely happy with Jared.

"Great Tutor!!"

- Eric, Cambridge, MA on 4/17/15

My son is learning AutoCad with Jared. My son really learns best working on a specific project of intense interest to him and learning as he goes, rather than learning via set lessons.
Jared has been excellent at suiting his teaching to these specific needs of my son. He immediately adapted to to fit my son's learning style.
I am happy to say that both the project and my son's learning of CAD are going on at a great rate, with enjoyment by all!!
Great job, Jared, and many thanks from both father and son!!

"The perfect tutor"

- Zoe, Brookline, MA on 2/7/15

Jared is a smart and understanding tutor. He is easy to reach and always on time. I find it easy to ask him questions about problems that confuse me and pay attention to the material he is explaining. -John DuBois (Zoe's son)

"Great listener and very knowledgeable"

- Nikki, Holbrook, MA on 2/2/15

In our three sessions, Jared has been a terrific tutor for my son in both AP Physics and AP Calculus. Punctual and serious about his work, he has done an outstanding job clarifying some difficult concepts. We plan to continue working with Jared as the year progresses.

"Great tutor!"

- Mary, Milton, MA on 2/2/15

My son was struggling in physics and calculus but not now! Jared has been working with for this past semester. He received an A on both of his midterm exams.

We are very pleased with Jared. He is always on time, very patient, identifies the areas of challenge and gives many examples of problems to work through. We would highly recommend him!!

"Good Rapport and Productive"

- Jeff, Hingham, MA on 12/3/14

All is going well for my son who is being tutored in physics and precalc. Jared has a calm way about him, is intelligent, and my son seems right up to speed when each meeting is complete. Very happy.

"Very knowledgeable"

- Ben, Braintree, MA on 9/26/14

Appointment with Jared was to focus on SAT Math prep but my son also needed help with his Honors Stats class and Jared was able to go over Stats material first and then shifted effortlessly to SAT prep.

"Jared is kind, patient, punctual, and knowledgeable."

- Vashti, West Roxbury, MA on 9/12/14

I am thrilled to have found Jared through WyzAnt. My daughter thinks he is the best. She expressed comfort with him and enjoys his method of teaching. He is humble and very knowledgeable. I wish all my teachers were as patient and caring like him, she said. I am confident that Jared will take her to the highest heights in AP Physics. Thanks Jared; we appreciate you. You are the best!!

"Reliable, knowledgeable, Patient"

- Lisa, Rancho Cucamonga, CA on 10/20/12

Jared is helpful to my daughter. She is taking geometry and Jared answers questions from current lessons as well as goes over future problems. This works well as she gets to be taught twice on the problem by both the teacher and Jared. He knows geometry and am sure lots on other subjects too!

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

AutoCAD

I have worked with AutoCAD 2004 and 2007, and AutoCAD Architectural Desktop for a total of hundreds of hours; including a major project submitted to the CA State Fair in which I put in over a hundred hours of work.

Although I only took one college course, "Fundamentals of Civil Engineering AutoCAD." I used AutoCAD in many of my courses, specifically Calculus 2-4, Physics Mechanics, Strength of Materials, and heavily used it in the class of Surveying.

Calculus

I have taken calculus 1-4 along with differential equations and applied them in numerous physics and engineering courses. In addition I have tutored many students at the college, AP, and high school levels; and also in preparation for the SAT, the ACT, and/or the AP tests.

CBEST

I am CBEST accredited and have tutored students in all of the aspects of the test.

General Computer

I have experience with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems and many programs on each from Computer Aided Drafting to the Office Suit (e.g. word, excel, powerpoint.)

Government & Politics

Government and politics are two of my passions. Ever since highschool I have had an interest in government and politics, especially how they relate to people. Although I enjoy knowing about our government I feel the need to spead that knowledge for I believe as Jefferson did that ". . . whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that, whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them right." (as cited in Padover, 1939, p. 88)

SAT Math

I have excelled in all levels of highschool math along with more advanced courses, and I have also successfully tutored numerous students for class and in preparation for the ACT or SAT.
